Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Crushed peppermint candies (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and peppermint extract to the creamed butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the optional crushed peppermint candies with a spatula.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow room for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve your ‘Choco Mint Snaps’ with a glass of milk, or package them for gifting. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
